Ruto unveils raft of changes he will introduce in government
The announcement comes just hours after Ruto announced a raft of changes and a new way of running the government in his inaugural meeting with Kenya Kwanza elected leaders.
Ruto said that he had agreed with the newly elected Members of Parliament to change the Standing Orders to require Cabinet Secretaries to answer questions on the floor of the house.
“We are going to amend standing orders to make it possible for cabinet secretaries to answer questions on the floor of Parliament. It is not enough for them to go to parliamentary committees,” he said.
The president-elect also said that state officials would not be used to perform any political tasks, drawing a clear line between the government officers and politicians.
“Political work will be carried out by politicians and not members of the provincial administration. This is the only way to govern. We want them to remain independent and work for all Kenyans despite their affiliations. They should serve Kenyans equally,” Ruto said.
